Meet the Attorney
Like you, I am also an immigrant to this country. I was born and raised in Chihuahua, Mexico and I came to the United States in the year 2001 after my marriage to an American citizen. I attended law school in my country at the Universidad Regional del Norte in the state of Chihuahua. However, as many of you know, you can be “somebody” in your home country, but when you come to America without speaking English you are nobody here. I left behind my family, my country and everything I was familiar with to come to this country. I did not want to give up on my dream of becoming an attorney and helping people. I worked extremely hard to learn enough English to be able to continue my education in the United States and 5 years after coming to this country, I graduated from the University of Northern Colorado with a Political Science major and a minor in Legal Studies. In 2008, I graduated with a Doctor of Jurisprudence from Texas Tech University school of Law and I opened my law firm in 2009.

Immigration Services
You should hire us because we care about you and your success! Your experience will be completely different when you consult with an immigration attorney through an interpreter versus when you consult to an Immigration attorney who not only speaks your own language fluently, but also understands your culture.

We have changed the lives of many of our clients. You can read their success stories on our testimonial section, google reviews, or our Facebook page. You could be our next success story.
As you already know immigration is one of the most talked about areas of the law on TV, news, and reports. Immigration law and their interpretation is constantly changing. However, the recent changes have not been favorable to the immigrant communities. If there is even a small possibility that you may be able to fix your immigration status, you should pursue it. Call us to schedule an appointment for an immigration evaluation. Your peace of mind and your family’s future are worth it!
People underestimate the complexity of immigration cases and think that all that is required to do is fill out forms. However, the consequences of filling out the wrong forms or the correct forms incorrectly can be catastrophic to your case by having your case delayed, denied, or even placing you in removal proceedings. Your immigration case is not a situation where you should become wise at your own expense. Hire a competent immigration attorney to handle your case, your peace of mind and future are worth it!
